It is easy to set up emails on your iPhone. If you require confirmation of your email settings, please email the Support Team at support@auswebdesign.com.au.
- From the home screen of your iPhone/iPad, press the Settings Icon

- Select Mail, Contacts, Calendars

- Under the Accounts section select Add Account

- On the Add Account page select Other

- Under the Mail section, select Add Mail Account

- On the New Account screen, complete the following details:
Your Name: The name to be displayed when sending email
Address: Your email address, e.g. johnsmith@example.au.com
Password: The password used for this email account.
Description : Any text description

- Press [Save]
The device may attempt to
automatically retrieve the server settings. If it fails, continue
following the steps below to configure your iPhone/iPad manually
- Our servers support both POP and IMAP. Select IMAP or POP from the mail account types depending on your preference
To learn more about the difference between the two, read our POP vs IMAP support page

- Scroll down the screen and complete the corresponding information.
Incoming Mail Server
Host Name: pop.example.com (if connecting via POP) or imap.example.com (if connecting via IMAP). Where example.com is your domain name.
Username: Your full email address, eg. johnsmith@example.com
Password: The password to your email address

Outgoing Mail Server
Host Name: smtp.example.com
Username: Your full email address, eg. johnsmith@example.com
Password: The password to your email address.

- Scroll back to the top of the screen and press [Save].
Your device will now attempt to verify all the settings you’ve entered. You’ll need to wait for it to do this.
Note: You may be given a warning that your device cannot connect via SSL or that it cannot be verified

The reason this warning comes up is because your device may be
attempting to connect to our shared mail server via an SSL connection
using your domain name rather than the name which the SSL certificate
belongs to.
If this warning comes up, you may simply press continue.
For more information about this warning, read our SSL certificate on shared email service article.
- That completes the configuration of your iPhone/iPad to our email
servers. Before using it however, we recommend testing that a few other
settings have been configured correctly. The iPhone/iPad is known for
automatically using some default settings which may cause you some
problems. Continue with the steps below to ensure that the settings on
your device are manually set correctly.

- Scroll down to the Outgoing Mail Server section and press SMTP

- If only using your email services with us on your device, your
primary server should be smtp.example.com.au. Select this SMTP server to
configure it further

- Modify the following information if not already completed:

- To modify your incoming mail server settings, go back to the mail email account page and press Advanced rather than SMTP

off of our servers when it downloads them or set them to delete after a
set period of time.
You’re now complete. Test by sending an email to the account.
